9 Years Today.
 
By the Grace of God, I've spent 9 years free of alcohol.
I still go to meetings regular, Monday and Thursday at 10:00 am. I'm on my way shortly.
Life sure does suck a whole lot less on the outside of the bottle. These days it amazes me how I couldn't live a minute without it. It'd be like a bad dream, but after being drunk for 25 years, it's really not possible to forget.
I certainly don't miss all the wonderful fringe benefits that went along with it. It's good to feel good, and it's even better to be at peace.

I already told you it ain't no thing. You're sure not the first guy that offered me a drink, and you certainly won't be the last, my friend.
My step-daughter's boyfriend Andrew drank that bottle, he was absolutely thrilled. It made me happy to share. You done good, my friend. :tu

Congrats Scott. My great uncle has been sober over 30 years and still wears his necklace with the date of his first day of sobriety on it. It is a life changer for you and everyone who cares about you. Keep it up.

Great job, Scott!!

Now if you can just stop your smoking, gardening, and building-everything-in-sight habits, you'll have tons more money left.

Right, I know...

Congrats. I have a lot of respect for those who admit they have a problem and try like hell to be sober. I attended an AA meeting as part of a mental health clinical and it really is sad to hear them talk about how they hurt themselves and friends/family because of their addictions.
